In 2014, tsunami waves, originating off the coast of Chili, were detected near Japan, where EvoLogics modems enabled acoustic communication between JAMSTEC’s Vector Tsunameter on the seafloor and the autonomous Wave Glider vehicle on the ocean surface, transmitting real-time data to the shore over satellite. EvoLogics Modems on JAMSTEC Tsunameter JAMSTEC has developed and successfully tested the new ocean bottom Tsunameter (The Vector TsunaMeter ), which estimates the tsunam

Production is now underway on Valeport's latest innovation - the new UV-SVP - a small and compact direct reading package aimed primarily at AUV and ROV users, which delivers high accuracy data to compliment survey work. Valeport's UV-SVP (Underwater Vehicle - Sound Velocity Profiler) is based on the company's miniSVS and offers a form factor designed for underwater vehicles where space is at a premium. Measuring sound velocity, temperature and pressure, the UV-SVP uses Valepo
